During the time Morris III stayed in the camp, he was always immersed in the dilemma of "what to buy".
The commodity currency in the encyclopedia can be called "energy coin", and one energy coin is equal to ten tons of materials.
The civilian transport ship that Morris III wanted to buy the most required 10,000 energy coins, so Morris III had to settle for the second best and buy the Snow, which had a displacement of only 2,150 tons and cost only 1,000 energy coins.
One thousand energy coins are also very expensive!
The reason why Morris III was hesitant was that he had never seen any similar reference objects in reality. Although this image that only existed in books was real, actually using it in reality was another matter.
Moreover, there is no such thing as a refund if you are not satisfied with the order from Rabbits. At most, there is only after-sales service, such as instruction on how to use the ship, daily maintenance, and fuel costs that need to be paid separately.
Morris III's current shopping list contains very few items. He didn't sleep well the past two days because of his fear of making choices.
"Father!"
Nancy's second arrival once again interrupted Morris III's thoughts. This time, Nancy came to see her father directly with her schoolbag after school at noon.
"What happened again?" Another major reason why Maurice III hesitated was that he wanted to wait until the envoys he sent out had learned enough knowledge before purchasing these goods.
For example, let your daughter get a driver's license first and then buy her a car.
"It looks like a warship will arrive at Greenleaf River today," said Nancy.
"Warship? My daughter... where did you hear this news?"
As soon as Morris III asked this question, a soldier in military uniform walked into Morris III's tent.
After the soldier briefly greeted Morris III, he informed Morris III of Jiang's invitation to go to the port to observe the warship launching.
"It's my pleasure."
Morris III has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, to be able to observe the ships built by the gods' people up close!
There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice as he responded. After the soldier left, Morris III packed up the shopping list on hand and quickly followed with his daughter.
… … …
Simple Port is really very simple.
The pier is made of a pile of concrete piles and gravel. Before Lucheng went to the engineering team to tell them that he wanted to build a pier, they replied to Lucheng that it had already been built.
Because the construction period is too short, Lucheng cannot ask for too much.
In fact, when Lucheng first heard that the higher-ups were going to send a missile destroyer, Lucheng refused...
The functions of missile destroyers are mostly air defense, anti-sea and anti-submarine. Why should a destroyer like me be used to attack ground targets
Now the camp needs to reach the target it wants to attack... Gray Feather City, the capital of the Kingdom of Figgis. According to the data given by the seal, the distance may be more than a thousand kilometers.
At this distance, Lu Cheng thought it would be more economical to build an airstrip, call out a heavy bomber, and tie a bunch of expired grenades to it to launch a "ground-level bombing".
If all else fails, just call for an amphibious landing ship and install a row of Dongfeng missile launchers on the landing ship to achieve the same effect.
But there are far more ideas on Earth than in Lucheng.
The purpose of this missile destroyer coming to this world is to attack the blood crystal beasts in Gray Feather City first, and the most important thing is to explore this world.
This is just like using your own sailing units to dispel the fog of war around you.
Lu Cheng heard that the Shangcheng ship had undergone special modifications. As long as Lu Cheng added a fixed permanent portal on it, it could become a mobile base station and marine scientific research station.
At this stage, the sky has not been fully explored and satellite launches are still a long way off. The existence of this mobile base station is an important backup force for the rabbits to send personnel to explore countries around the world.
In this case, since the superiors have already designated the city ship to visit, Lucheng will of course gladly accept it.
Now the only eye-catching thing in the entire port is a fluttering red flag.
This is the only decoration on the port.
At this time, the atmosphere in this simple port was very serious. Lu Cheng stood up straight and adjusted the military cap on his head.
This is the first time that China’s warships have arrived in another world, so a sense of ceremony is necessary.
A huge portal appeared at the other end of the Green Leaf River. After Lu Cheng became more proficient in mastering the portal, he no longer needed to summon it on a flat surface.
The scale of this portal is the largest since Lu Cheng mastered this ability.
The entire Green Leaf River from this side of the port to the other side of the river is covered by the portal.
The golden light spread around, and Lucheng also needed to control the portal to aim it as close to the surface of the river as possible. The upper city ship was located in a secret military port for transformation and regular supplies, so confidentiality was not something Lucheng needed to worry about.
"salute!"
When the bow of the city ship appeared in front of the portal, Lu Cheng gave this order to his comrades standing in the port. Lu Cheng himself raised his arm and saluted in the direction of the portal.
There was also a whole team of naval officers and soldiers standing beside the side of the Shangcheng ship. The first thing they did when they arrived in this world was, of course, to give a standard military salute to the red flag flying in the port.
This sense of ceremony elevated the originally somewhat shabby port atmosphere once again.
Lu Cheng watched the Shangcheng ship gradually sailing out of the portal into the Green Leaf River. This was a Type 052D destroyer, currently the country's main destroyer.
Initially, Lu Cheng wanted to save as much as possible when exploring this world, so he took out all the weapons and equipment in the treasury that were about to expire and put them to good use.
It would be a waste to directly send a 052D-class destroyer, but Lu Cheng was not quite sure to what extent the Shangcheng ship had been transformed in order to explore this world, so it was not easy to express too many opinions for the time being.
The best news is that maintenance and supplies can be replenished directly through the portal.
This transmission took about two minutes, and just maintaining the portal consumed nearly one ton of energy from Lucheng.
Finally, the city ship successfully arrived in this world. Lu Cheng estimated that the energy consumed was about 850 human units, or 8,500 tons, of which 7,100 tons was used to transport the city ship.
Another 1,400 tons were needed to transport the navy sailors on the city ships.
"Now we can call it energy coins." Lu Cheng glanced at Morris III who was watching on the other side of the coastline.
After compiling the Industrial Age Encyclopedia, the camp defined the statistical energy unit given by Lucheng as 'energy coin'.
That encyclopedia is not just for Morris III. From now on, all the monarchs in this world... will probably feel extremely painful because they do not have enough energy coins.
